The New Wave: a magical alternative history of the 1980s. If the idea of playing a campaign where the punks, the new wavers, the gothic rockers, the synth-poppers, the hip-hoppers, the glam metal-heads, and everybody else that you watched on Martha Quinn-era MTV are laying down some arcane beats — and dressing accordingly, just because — then I think that you’ll like this one. I’m finishing up my current campaign world (the Fermi Resolution) either this month or next month, so it won’t start right away. Which is good, because I have to go listen to a hell of a lot of music now.

Huh. Random thought, that may not be particularly useful: I’ve got somewhere rules for a d20 campaign, without actual combat, based on a Saturday morning cartoon band. Like Josie and the Pussycats, or Jabberjaw, or … It was either published in Dragon, or maybe Dungeon.
